that turned into her being the owner of a tv network. in america, the grandson of poor immigrants fled russia and that sun became the majority of the leader of the house of representatives. that is what the house of representatives and america is about. in north carolina, two mechanics , the wright brothers, gave us the gift of flight. they flew 18 feet in the air at that time, but they performed a miracle. as a result, only 66 years later, this country put a man on the moon and brought him back. that is who we are. we can do an enormous amount of great things. the wright brothers actually inspired were inspired by their father who gave them a toy helicopter. he never wanted his sons, orville and wilbur to fly after the original flight, no one gave them the permission to fighter jet. the only time they ever did, later that day, he took his 82-year-old father up into the air. rising 350 feet at that time. while milton shouted, go higher, higher. i think it is a great testament to what our country is about. in america, we do have higher expectations for our nation, just like milton had higher e

in provocative behavior. they are isolated themselves from the west of the world. russia and china, almost the whole world has condemned what they have done. as a result of that, it should be a great concern to the international community that they are continuing to develop their capabilities to threaten security. not only of south korea, but to the rest of the world. for that reason, i think that we must take steps to make very clear to them that that kind of behavior is unacceptable. >> are there any sort of steps you are contemplating taking? >> i think it is a combination of a number of things that we have to do. one is the diplomatic steps that have to be taken. bringing the security conflict together to condemn their actions is very important. to organize the international community to do that. this morning i talked with the defense minister of south korea and we both agreed that we must make sure that we made clear that we are going to continue to conduct exercises and deploy our forces in that area. we are going to continue to show the north koreans that we are fully prepared to de
